Looks like a predator on your property .... you have every right to take care of that, ya know.... Just sayin' ..... I would, in a heartbeat.
He is just one of many. I would be shootin' all day. I have talked with animal control and I am currently photographing and videotaping all the at large dogs for documentation. Then we are going to try to trap them and have them picked up. I am ordering signs to notify neighbors that this property is no longer the off-leash, at-large, dog park! But when it comes down to it, I will probably sell this property and move to get away from the problem. It is always that way. The dog owners who do not control their animals always win in the end. If I shoot their mangy dog they'll just get another one. It isn't fair.
Edited to say I do not a want a livestock guardian dog or any other dog for that matter. Living next to inconsiderate, ignorant, dog owners has made a dog hater out of me. And yes, I realize it isn't the dogs fault, but every single home I have owned has been a nightmare in the end due to dog issues. i.e. biting, barking, escaping, chewing, crapping, killing, harrassing, etc.
Mary, I dont mean to hijack, but if you arent going to perimeter fence your property, you might try a line of hot wire. Its not very expensive, you can do a very large area, and you can get some satisfaction in hearing those Ai Yi Yi Yi YI screams as they run home and never come back. I perimeter fenced my 10 acres with wire and top board fence; it was pricey, but has enabled me to let the chickens free range on my property, and I only have to worry about air attacks. They are only out when Im home, tho.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.....anxiously awaiting a few more eggs this morning.
